Only on the 3rd of this month Laurier was pouring into the sympathetic ear of the Toronto Globe a thousand and one reasons why it was impossible to send a Canadian contingent to South Africa, He suid it could not be done without summoning parliament to grunt tl.e money.' There was no inennee to Canada and no legal'method in consequence by which the government could furnish troops. For these reasons the question of a Canadian contingent hnd not even been discussed by the government. This nil on the 3rd of this month. Now we have word that the Minister of Militia has been for the last two months making active prepiirutiorif for furnishing this very contingent, which according 'to Laurier could not be constitutionally furnished and hud never been even discussed in the cabinet. Somebody must surely lie toying with t.he truth, whicli simply is that Boss Tarte hates lhe very idea of furnishing this contingent and would not have allowed it to go ut all hud not the rising wave of patriotic indignation scared him from his disloyal and traitorous course. It is getting about time for loyal nnd self respecting Canadians to make up their minds to squelch this man Turte at the.very earliest opportunity. Trouble on the Illecillewaet. With commendable eneigy a large number of .the settlers across the Illecillewuet have repaired' tl.e bridge at McCarty's slaughter house and rendered it fit for traffic. Considerable dissatisfaction exists among those who have taken this slep at the pro- 'posed location of the new bridge, which is nearly a mile higher np tlie stream. As those settlers who will he chiefly benefitted by the new bridge refused to help in repairing the old one, those who did the work threaten to put a gate unci prevent the others from using it. A. Williamson,- who is one of those whose road to town will be considerably shortened by the new bridge, appealed to Gold Commissioner Coursier to help him against the settlers, who wish': to prevent him from using the old bridge, hut wus informed that the gold commissioner could do nothing foii''hiin. The bridge was repaired partly out of the materials afforded by the old structure, but the covering is new stuff, slabs provided by those who did' the work. The situation ; is further complicated by the fact that the southern abutment'is on F. McCarty's land,' and he gave notice to the officials here some time ngo that he intended to close up the road there, so that a new locution for the new bridge .hccnuie necessary'. . At. thesnnio time while commending the energy of those settlers who felt lhat they could not wail foraroad into town till the cud of the year, the Herald scarcely considers them justified in closing the bridge ngainst their neighbors and 'Idoes not think the gold commissioner's policy of masterly- inactivity at all defensible. KOOTENAY EXHIBITION A Proposal to Establish a Mineral Show of Our Own ITS ADVANTAGES DISCUSSE1) *4*������*******������<i������**+������**������*^ y*&4������**���������ve$0**������W0ihf0**������*rM*r**"^ People are asking what is the reason for the so-called war going on now in the' Transvaal and some appear to have mnde up their minds that no valid . caso.. can he given. But underneath all the solemn talk of the diplomats about the franchise and the suzerainity.the reaI reason crops up as plain as lhe big lime dyke in the Lardeau. It is that Mr. Boer has made up.liis7.mind to try conclusions with the 'iver'dnnite Englander," ns to which of,them shall.be .supreme inuSouth ���������Africa'. Such a. decision - may appear sufficiently astounding as to he'alliibst incredible, but the whole trend of events po'inlsoitt- that in their supreme folly unci dense , ignorance the" Boers have actually made up their minds to put this issue to the final test of war. The mere fact that the Orange Free State, a. Boor republic'.which has now existed in freedom and independence for the last half century under t.he protection und legis of the empire, has joined tlie Transvaal in the fools' attempt, lo shake off the very presence of the lvUed British power, is quite sufficient to prove tliis point. Theie is not a shadow of a doubt that hnd the Transvaal chosen to treat British subjects nnd capital within its boundaries with the'ordinary decency which one civilized power shows to another, both the Transvaal republic and the Ornnge Free Stale might have continued to enjoy the blessings of self-government without molestations from the Empire for ever. However they have chosen to abide���������-^-by-s^���������the^^ur.bitrunient of. arms and the only possible result can he the absorption of 'hoth republics into the.South African possessions of the Empire. Because either the Boers or the British have got to be paramount iu South Africa, and while, tlie British have been hoth virtually and really the ruling nation for the last couple of cent..lies, of late the Boers of the Transvaal, flushed with success in a couple of skirmishes and misinterpreting Gladstone's sentimental generosity for British timidity, hnve taken upon themselves to act as if they were the paramount race. This attitude wns not only galling lo British pride, but' rendered the position of the Briiish power at the Cipe intolerable. Upon it fell the duty of policing the country and of overawing the natives, who out number the whites, both Boers and British by ten to one. ��������� To Great Britain at the time (if the Zulu ;war, when lho great confederacy of the fighting races of the interior under Cetewuyo tineatened to sweep both the Transvaal .epuhlic and Orange Free Statti (int of existence, the Boer- turned for help, which'-was at once iK-ciiidetl, villi the resuli that at a ciinsideral.li' sacrifice of British lives the onward rush of the Zulus was checked and their confederacy broken up. And at this day, if the strong arm of the Empire were stayed in South Africa, the extermination of the Boers by the blacks would only he fit question of time. But if Great Britain lias to do the police work of South Africa she can only do it effectually as long as her prestige is unimpaired. Krnger undertook-to impair it and it is necessary in the interests of the whole white supremacy that,the position of affairs which enabled him to do so should be reorganized. The approaching extinction, of the Httje Boer republics in the heart ot the country will help to simplify the South African question inuneusely. Copper's Bright Future. The outlook bears evidence that the price of copper will be kept at its present market rate for n long time to come. Copper stocks may respond t.o speculative movements and hit nearly every note in the gamut of bulls and hears, hut the market price of tl.e red niPtal' will not vary much from its present figures. In a word, the demand equalB the supply, and purchasers find profit in its handling. It pays-to use copper, in lhe industrials, and'as-long as it does there will be no falling-of.In its price. -The prospecting for-copper propositions is meeting success in..eveiy portion of the great mineral wesfand northwest. Copper -prospects are being developed into producing mines, and the mines are being- capitalized in healthy round figures. The investing capital in the east is hungry for copper stocks, aud very many who have been content with their little holdings in small dividend paying pursuits, aie putting their money in copper securities yielding larger interest, on their capital. It is said there is no trouble to sell a copper mine in New York or in Boston: All that the would-be purchaser wishes to know is that there is merit in the mine, and that a reasonable price is wanted for it. The capitalist who cuii be satisfied upon ihese points becomes a ready purchaser.���������Western Mining "World. The Big Bond Robbery The latest papers from London announce the expected return of.Crick, the young clerk arrested at Donald, in the first week' of this month, as he sailed from Montreal \yith Detective- inspector Abbot t. who with Serg.

It says they enlisted a body guard of men, whom they arumd to the teeth, engaged miners of experience, -laid in provisions, pm chased horses nnd formed "a well-laid plan of campaign, which should sooner or later have assured them possess-ion of first rate claims."

Furnish a, Rallying Point for United Effort for the Common Good. The Spokane Fair ciinie to nn end esteidiiy nnd: has heen an immense ���������iccfss this year. Starling only four ���������ivfive years ago, in the face of -con- idernlile indifference' and lhe usual .ick of co-operation from those most, '���������oncerneil, the hustling Spokane men, vho have had the,management of this fair, have seen it rise into tine of the. most valued institutions of the Northwest. The fair was oi igini.lly intended! to illustrate nnd advertise the splendid .igricultur.il resources of the great grain, fruit and stock raising district, of which Spokane is the capital,-but.' as the immense mineral wealth of Koolenay and Washington rapidly came to the front ns. the supreme., factor in the upbuilding of Spokane, the mineral exhibit at fiist started as a mere annexe to the fruit fair, began to overshadow in importance the parent exhibition,! until this year iti was made the chief feature of, thei ���������*��������� exposition. Now while recognizing to- the full the business energy and enter- nrise which has made Spokane the .���������hief mining centre of this country, of- ���������\hich the importance: now.attiiehingi to its mineral exposition is only an1 illustration, and while recognizing ���������il������n the great value .which the annual, exhibition-of ores lias been to-Koote-/ nay. the Hekald would like' to- snggestthat.it is getting "about timo! that Kootenny held nn annual mineral, and mining exhibition on her own ac-/ count within h'er horders. It is time to- assert onr own.individuality us a great, inining district and.cut loc.se from the; - Spokane- leading-strings. We have.- towns-niiw in -Kootenay which, al--' though not so large.is the hig city,-. which we so materially helped our Spo- ��������� kane friends and neighbors in-building iip"*areyet perfectly capable of. hand-, liii'gsnch a proposition as this * Koote-l nay mining exposition would lie.': And, the beneficial . effects , of such an- institution cannot be questioned". \ -. In'the first place we shall never pet- together a really representative*' or ��������� satisfnetory.exhibit of our Kootenny,* ores until we localize it in our midst."- Spokane is a long way ' off and ��������� the ' results of-going to the: trouble oft packing out specimens, collecting and\ sending .them ..down tliere-are not1, immediately apparent. They do not ��������� come quick enough to appeal; to the- average prospector and he'does not ��������� take suflicient interest in the successor the exhibition as an institution to' stir* hiin up tp any extraordinary'* exertion in this direction.-. But if we had a mining exposition established, right in thu district, close nt hand, im which every.Kooteriaian'would take a- patriotic intei est and pride in helping i to make it a success, the lesults of an. appeal for specimens would be very** different nnd far more successful. Secondly as an advertisement of the . country sue-h' an 'exhibition would be- iniinense. It woulil attract mining ��������� .tid"woiiid-be~- i number of The Clipper. Jns.iLaugliton bus bonded from, C Irwin the Clipper mineral claim on the Great Western hill on the ."Arh'i'of upper Arrow lake.about six miles fiom Arrowhead. Tbe Clipper is an exceedingly fine prospect. * A 29 foot tunnel was run in this season and tapped the lead ut about 10 feet below ground and with an excellent showing of 8 inches of high grade ore. The Clipper is situated about half a mile from the Great Western Mines Co.'s properties andnvithin a mile of the lake shore. There is plenty of Water and timber on the ground and this property- should prove a very valuable one. m Shamrock-Columbia Race- Monday's race resulted in an easy win for the Columbia, which was a mile ahead at the finish. Yesterday the Shamrock broke her tnast. and as each side agreed to abide by all accidents, the heat again goes to the,.Coliiinbia_. men froiirev"ery7c"unrter the means.of inducing people to visit Kootenay who might ��������� not otherwise do so. Once in our midst the rest, is'easy. much easier at,'" all events than away at. Spokane. '��������� where Kootenny is apt to get, mixed: with the' -American-Kootenai, and ��������� specimens from Big Bend are supposed - to come from the .Washington Big Bend, a fine fi.rn.ing district no doubt, but not exactly the country our ex-J Libit is intended to.udvertise. . No, if i we hud our owu Kootenay show.and. the mining man and investor once interested .in , the ore-from .my par-' ticuliir ciimp: this country is not very ��������� huge, means of communication are*1 comparatively easy and becoming ' easier every year, and within two or ��������� three days'he might ensily .he invest!- ��������� gating lhe mine or claim, whence it was extiiicted for himself. Thirdly, we. in 'Kootenay want to know each other better and to pull 1 together more for the common good1 than we do. Onr people are scattered in little mining camps for the most ' part nnd eveiy body is crowing all hy ' his lonesome on top of his particular hole in the ground.. This is to a certain extent inevitable, but greuter ��������� community of feeling would do us nn harm, bnt on the contrary,1 a great' deal of good. A "Kootenay Mining Exposition would afford just such a rallying point as is requiri-d to bring ��������� us together and get to know each other, and at. the same time present an excellent opportunity for our boards of trade and other business bodies to meet by their represent atives and i formulate plans for the common welfare of the district in the future. It will doubtless cost. money and' take a good deal of time nnd trouble- to get such an institution ou its legs and tarry it on to success, hut nil expendituie of any kind would?he amply repaid hy the benefits^,which it woulel confer on Kootenay and the impulse it would give to our chief, ind'.i. trv. Its mines and minerals is what Kootenay. has mainly to look t������. and a Kootenay Mining and Mineral Exposition would be one great factor in helping on the development of these resources and iu furthering the general progress, and prosperity, of the district.

Oct. 12.���������About 0 o'clock last night a fire was discovered in the military slore,t.department at the Old Foil. The brigade was called and the flames quickly extinguished, the damage amounting to $5. This trivial damage is lost sight of in the fact proven in the investigation that, lhe fine was ot an incendiary origin. An attempt to cause a conflagration had been most "deliberately carried out. It was found that tlio screen windows or the main building had been wrenched off and a mass' of cotton waste soaked with "oil and ignited had been thrown inside. Had the fire made headway tho result would have been most disastrous, as the building contains thousands of rounds of rifle and Maxim gun ammunition, blankets, tents, sots of new equipment and in fact all military necessaries of overy description. . Lieutenant Colonel Graveloy, superintendent of thc stores, was at the armories when*the news reached him by a telephone, message. He at onco returned and thoroughly inspected the building but found nothing tnat would lead to tiny .conclusion other than that an attempt had been mado to firo tho buildings. A guard from the Stanley barracks were nosted around the buildings the remainder of the night. ALLAN LINK STEAMERS Will bo Used as Transports to Southi Africa. i Montreal.

Lung Alore, a Chinaman, was arretted un tiie mill flat last Saturday night on suspicion of being implicated in a SOME PRESS OPINIONS On Our Loyal Minister of Public Works Mr. Tarte Commenting on an interview given to the Paris Figaro by Israel Tarte. tlie Manchester, England, Evening Mail says: "Tbe Canadian Minister of Public Works, vvho is now on a visit to Europe, bus lici.'ii captured by a wily interviewer, and made to commit himself I o feome very .-ingtilar views. It is for tohliiuie, rather unusual for a Government ofiicial of a Briiish possession indwell delii'liti'dlv upon the strength uf foreign . . llli'i:.. The Minister de- .lareil Canada to be "lhe finest French ninny in tiie world," and then, as an Lflerthonght, he qualified bis remark Iiy adding "whilst being very loyal to the Brilhsh Empire." He complained that in Canada ihey gal only French news which vvas to I'm dit-credit of France, anil suggi-Med as a reason that the messages from Paris are transmitted via London. When asked whether he meant that the cables were suppressed or uttered here, he significantly remarked, "I can only say that vve receive only despatches which are hostile to France." The insinuation is not a pleasant one, notwithstanding its absurdity. There are 2,000,000 Frenchmen in Canada; one fourth of the deputies and senators and tive ministers out of 12are French, whilst, over 200 journals in the French language are published there. This gives some idea of the influence of the French-Canadians���������an influence which is rapidly growing, Here is one proof. Genernl Hutton recently decided that in the French volunteer regiments the commands should in future be given in French, n large number of the men not understanding a word of English. This concession does not look as if vve suspect the loyalty of the Flench in the Dominion, and there is no need of the minister at public works' direct Franco-Canadian cable to combat what he is pleased to call lying and hatred." One may be pardoned for suggesting that in this remarkable interview he does not display much affection for the English vvho have placed him���������a foreigner���������in a position of trust iu the government of a British colony. The Winnipeg Telegram says: In his celebrated Figaro interview. Air. Tarte, besides declaring that France i.s his country and that his heart, blends for hei1 suffering!", lamented that there was no French press association .lo send French Canadian journals news wilh the proper Galician color. He regretted that at the time of the Fashoda affair, tbe cable news was too British; nnd loid how it keeps him anil bis sons nil their time properly representing French opinion to lbe people of Canada; "Bear in tniiiil." said be, "tint my sons who are directors of a great Canadian tiewsoaper. are obliged every day lo make refutation of despatches concerning Frcm h iitVnii-s." The zeal with which Air. T.irte and bis precious sons nre endeavoring tr reflect French opinion in Camilla, is shown by their ialtitude on the Transvaal question. Tbey have all along taken lhe anti-British side of the controversy and arc most vigorously protecting against Canada doing anything otlic'i.-illy to a-sist Bi-ilniii in llie pre.-i'iit war.
